a_o declaration_n of_o the_o freeborn_a people_n of_o england_n now_o in_o arm_n against_o the_o tyranny_n and_o oppression_n of_o oliver_n cromwell_n esq_n be_v satisfy_v in_o our_o judgement_n and_o

expect_v to_o be_v brand_v with_o the_o infamous_a name_n of_o rebel_n and_o traitor_n or_o to_o be_v misrepresent_v both_o to_o the_o army_n city_n and_o country_n as_o common_a enemy_n disturber_n of_o the_o public_a peace_n arbitrary_a cavalier_n or_o under_o some_o other_o odious_a notion_n that_o may_v provoke_v the_o army_n and_o people_n to_o endeavour_v our_o destruction_n but_o if_o we_o may_v prevail_v to_o be_v hear_v before_o we_o be_v condemn_v and_o execute_v we_o shall_v submit_v our_o cause_n and_o the_o righteous_a end_n we_o seek_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o army_n and_o every_o honest_a english_a man_n and_o if_o the_o army_n itself_o according_a to_o their_o many_o engagement_n will_v undertake_v and_o their_o strength_n be_v sufficient_a to_o redeem_v we_o from_o our_o present_a slavery_n and_o settle_v that_o right_a and_o freedom_n unto_o which_o our_o birth_n give_v we_o title_n we_o shall_v ready_o lay_v down_o our_o present_a arm_n the_o whole_a

to_o god_n his_o conscience_n or_o his_o country_n in_o yield_v up_o tame_o and_o silent_o all_o the_o law_n right_n and_o liberty_n of_o england_n into_o a_o usurper_n hand_n we_o have_v for_o many_o year_n patient_o bear_v all_o kind_n of_o oppression_n arbitrariness_n and_o tyranny_n and_o suffer_v under_o such_o heavy_a burden_n of_o excise_n and_o tax_n as_o england_n never_o know_v in_o
